"See also the integrated fuselage design!"
A few years ago, I think OPPO mobile phones mainly rely on the color of the back cover to obtain recognition, and the design is indeed somewhat homogeneous with other mobile phones. But since last year, when the big brother OPPO Find X3 series first presented the integrated curved design to everyone, I think OPPO finally found a design that is independent of any mobile phone brand on the market. By this year's OPPO Find X5 series, OPPO polished it to maturity, and the integrated fuselage design has indeed become an increasingly conspicuous label for OPPO mobile phones in the past two years.
The high manufacturing cost of the integrated fuselage is inevitable, so until the launch of OPPO Reno8 Pro+ I felt that this design should only be used on the flagship machine, but I never expected that a mid-range machine actually adopted the integrated fuselage design - OPPO Reno8 Pro+ Back used in the Liuyun dual mirror design scheme, coupled with the OPPO Find X5 series similar to the hot forging molding process, so that there is no fault between the camera module and the back cover, the entire visual effect is very harmonious.
Together with OPPO Reno7 Pro, you can more intuitively feel the evolution of OPPO Reno8 Pro+ design language.
As for the color matching, OPPO Reno8 Pro+ has three colors of Runaway Green, Roaming Gray, and Dark Surge Black, and this one in my hand is the Runaway Green version, a little fresh feeling, and the light cyan makes me think of Baguio in "Xue Xian", a sentence of "Smart Smile Qianxi" is the best interpretation of it.
OPPO Reno8 Pro+ frame with right angled edges and aviation metal material. In fact, there has always been a controversy over the right angle edge and the arc side, I personally think that the two have their own advantages and disadvantages, the right angle side looks more textured, and the round side feels better, see if you like it personally.
However, although the OPPO Reno8 Pro+ uses a right-angle edge design, it has a very good grip. The reason is that even in the case of a built-in 4500mAh battery, the thickness of the fuselage can still have 7.34mm performance. This not only makes the OPPO Reno8 Pro+ the thinnest Reno phone ever, but also with the weight of the 183g body and the 2.5D micro-arc design, it is also comfortable enough in terms of grip.
"How does the Tianji 8000-MAX perform?"
Qualcomm did not know what magic was in the past two years, not only was the Snapdragon 888 with high hopes overturned, but also the performance of this year's new generation of Snapdragon 8 series was not satisfactory. On the contrary, MediaTek has become more and more courageous in the past two years, according to the report of Counterpoint, a well-known market research agency, MediaTek has become the world's largest chip supplier in mobile phone chip shipments for 5 consecutive quarters. The Tianji 9000 and Tianji 8100 released this year not only can break the wrist with Qualcomm's chips of the same level in performance, but more importantly, the power consumption performance is much better, so it has won a good reputation from users. And this also means that MediaTek has finally stood firm in the high-end market, and this year it can say "Fa Ge Yes!" "That's it.
The OPPO Reno8 Pro+ is equipped with the Tianji 8100-MAX, which is a version jointly tuned by OPPO and MediaTek, using TSMC's 5nm process, which is simply that the performance is slightly stronger than the Tianji 8000, and the power consumption is not much different. In addition, the one I have in my hand is 12GB (LPDDR5) + 256GB (UFS3.1) version, in fact, when you buy a machine, if you encounter a 12GB version and an 8GB version of the same price, I recommend you to start the 12GB version. After all, the big luck storage is not so easy to "kill" the background, and with the change of Android version, the system will inevitably increase the storage (like the current mainstream Android 12 itself occupies 4GB+ of the storage), so if you want to buy a mobile phone for a few years, then choose the 12GB version is not wrong.
Measured running score:
▲AnTuTu (V9.3.9) easily exceeded 80W in running score, which is the strongest Reno series model in history!
▲ Geekbench 4 running score:
▲Andro Bench memory test:
As can be seen from the software running score, the performance output of OPPO Reno8 Pro+ is indeed very good, which proves that OPPO is still possible for the iron triangle combination grinding of Tianji 8000-MAX+UFS3.1+LPDDR5. As for the actual performance, I used the "League of Legends mobile game" and "Original God" two popular mobile games to test.
The first is League of Legends Mobile Game, where I set the picture quality to the highest and then play a game. As can be seen from the results, the game can basically run stably at 55 frames, and even in the process of 5V5 team battles, the frame rate fluctuations are very small, basically can be run as full frames.
Finally, let's take a look at "Original God", this game is more special than "Glory of Kings" and "Peace Elite", because it is an open world game, the requirements for mobile phone performance are very demanding, and it is also currently recognized as a "hardware killer", so it is the most suitable choice to test the performance limits of mobile phones. After half an hour of play, through the test software can see that OPPO Reno8 Pro+ can be stable at about 40 frames throughout the whole process, where the situation of frame drop is basically in the BOSS battle, but basically above 38 frames, the fluency of the entire game screen is still quite good.
"How strong is a two-core image?"
Imaging has always been the focus of the Reno series, and this OPPO Reno8 Pro+ is equipped with OPPO's first self-developed Mariana X chip as standard in the entire series, which can provide up to 18TOPS computing power, and also supports 4K night video, HDR video, 4K polar night video and chip-level App camera enhancement. Coupled with the 50 million pixel main camera + 8 million ultra-wide angle + 2 million macro triple camera combination, with the IMX766, IMX709 two custom sensors, and OPPO portrait algorithm, OPPO self-developed 3A algorithm matrix to form a dual-core portrait photography system, theoretically speaking, it is very capable of playing.
In the outdoor scene during the day, the photos taken by OPPO Reno8 Pro+ have achieved satisfactory performance in color and perception. Just like these samples taken in the cloudy world, although the sky is not beautiful, the transparency and white balance of the photos are still guaranteed, and the details are also well restored.
Next, looking at the night sample, you can see that even if the sample site has a lot of neon lights and the light source is very complicated, after being processed by the OPPO Reno8 Pro+ camera, there is not too much obvious glare in the photo. And everyone looks at the distant building still has a lot of details, and there is no excessive smearing phenomenon, it can be seen that OPPO Reno8 Pro+ has indeed brought a good night scene shooting ability through the excellent AI computing power and image function optimization of the Mariana X chip.
Let's talk about portraits and selfies, in fact, OPPO has always had a lot of say in the field of selfies, and even its beauty algorithm calls it the first in china, and this time it is also equipped with a 32 million pixel IMX709 super sensitive cat's eye lens. The final selfie imaging is also quite good, you can see that not only the skin color on the face of the little sister is naturally fair, but also the layering of the background and the treatment of the edges of the characters are also just right.
After opening the unique "Spot Portrait" filter, you can see that the background of the character forms a beautiful spot, which used to be only shot by SLR lens, but now mobile phones can also be used, and can be used day and night. By the way, "Spotted Portraits" are also exclusive to the Reno series, and even the flagship Find series is not.
Finally, let's talk about night video, OPPO Reno8 Pro+ equipped with OPPO's self-developed Mariana X image NPU can be said to make mobile phone video shooting truly enter the 4K AI HDR era, which can make the night scene that can hardly see five fingers as bright as day.
This time I used oppo Reno8 Pro+ and OPPO Reno7 Pro without a standalone image chip to shoot in the same scene, you can see oppo Reno8 Pro+ shooting the picture is very transparent, the key is that the performance of highlights is better than OPPO Reno7 Pro. You can pay attention to the billboard on the right side of the screen, OPPO Reno7 Pro has almost died white, and OPPO Reno8 Pro+ also retains the details on the billboard. In addition, OPPO Reno8 Pro+ can enable AI mode in 4K mode, while OPPO Reno7 Pro can only enable AI mode at a maximum of 1080P resolution, which is also a big difference.
"Are there any other highlights?"
Of course! First of all, I think oppo Reno8 Pro+ is very comfortable in use is that its endurance is really good, especially the machine uses the longevity version of 80W super flash charge, measured 15 minutes to charge the phone to 61%, fully charged only 29 minutes, charging speed can be described as very fast.
As for the endurance test, I used OPPO Reno8 Pro+ (full power state) to chase dramas for 1 hour, brush vibrato for 1 hour, and "League of Legends Mobile Game" for 1 hour, and then record the power consumed separately. It can be seen that after three hours of heavy use, OPPO Reno8 Pro+ still maintains 68% of the power, which is enough to prove that the endurance of the aircraft is indeed good.
"Write at the end"
After the Reno series replaced the R series in 2019, in fact, many people in the market are not optimistic about oppo's approach, after all, the R series was already a "tens of millions" product series at that time, and the sales of OPPO R9 and OPPO R9s even exceeded 20 million. So cutting out a fiery, market-recognized R series and turning to create a new, unknown Reno series is indeed an "incomprehensible" decision for many people.
In fact, after several years of development, the Reno series has not only reproduced the hot sales of the R series of that year, but also raised a lot in product strength. Take this OPPO Reno8 Pro+, which is OPPO's first mid-range model equipped with Mariana X chip, and also carries a longevity version of 80W super flash charge, 32 million pixelSyMX709 super sensitive cat's eye lens, integrated body design and other cross-level configurations, and has attracted a large number of consumers.
